Aug 16, 2011I recently installed Apache on Lucid Lynx (Macbook 1.1) using the following tutorial: [URL] Everything appears to work correct except that when I browse http://localhost/ in Firefox, I cannot see any of the directories. Although, files such as html documents are visible. When I view the /var/www directory using the default graphical file browser, all of its child directories have Xs over their icons. When I attempt to open the directory "js", the following error message displays:The folder contents could not be displayed.
You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "js".
I figured this was preventing Firefox from viewing the directories. So I launched it with the "gksu" command to see if it would help. I still couldn't see directories when browsing http://localhost/ I'm basically trying to achieve functionality identical to the MAMP local server for Mac OS X. I'm about to start a LAMP project for a new client so having this up and running is important!

Jul 2, 2010Is there a way to recreate all the folders from one directory to another without copying over the contents of the folder? I've been trying to do something like this,
Code:for i in `ls $X`; do mkdir $PATH/$i; doneUnfortunately $i is deliminated by whitespaces in the filenames and not the actual folders.
$X contains only other folders so I dont have to worry about regular files but any kind of more "advanced" solution would work.
Ubuntu :: Cp - Copy Only The Folder Contents To New Folder ?

Is this right?

Jul 23, 2011I'm trying to run Starcraft 2 from the installation folder I kept from my previous windows install, and when I double-click the .exe I get an error that says it doesn't have permission to run as an executable. So I checked out the properties page, permissions tab, and for some ungodly reason none of the changes I make stick. The second I click the check box for "Run as an exectuable" it unchecks. I have no idea what to do and I've scoured the net looking for an answer. I'd prefer to avoid redownloading it (didn't buy the retail version) but it's looking like my only option at this point.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Backup Folder Contents To External HDD Using TAR
Apr 19, 2011I'm trying to create a very simple back up script to back up the contents of one folder on my system to an NTFS formatted external hdd. I want to keep the ownerships and permissions of the files I'm backing up intact so I'm putting them into a tar archive. Compression is not necessary as I have plenty of space for the backup.
I have created the initial backup with the following command:
Code:
tar -cpf $bupath/backup.tar $sourcepath
This seemed to work quite well with the resulting file being about 170gb and took about 5hrs. For subsequent backups, the files are probably only going to change by about 10% at most so it seems inefficient to create a whole new backup from scratch. I would like to be able to just update my existing archive with any new/altered files.
I have tried using the update mode (-u) with tar like so:Code:
tar -upf $bupath/backup.tar $sourcepath
So far this has been running for about 10hrs and the archive has grown to approx 220gb! What's going wrong here? I was expecting the update to take 30mins max and there be no significant change in the archive size. Am I perhaps misinterpreting the purpose of update mode in tar, or is there something wrong with my command? Is there a better/easy way to accomplish this?
Ubuntu :: No Permissions Necessary To View Contents Of My Folder

Ubuntu :: Deleting Files Based On Number Created (or In Folder?)
Jul 21, 2011I'm dipping my toes into some bash scripting and was wondering if there was a way to delete a file not based on how old it is, but rather how many other files are currently in the folder... or something to that effect....
What I'm doing is creating a script to back up a folder nightly. I'd like to keep a maximum of 3 backups. However in case the script for some reason fails to run one night (computer turned off possibly) I don't want to set the condition for deletion to be the date.
I know that if I run:
Code:
find /path/to/files* -mtime +3 -exec rm {} ;
that it will delete everything older than three days. -atime and -ctime don't seem to be what I"m looking for... is there another command I can use to achieve what I"m trying to?
